Troparion of St Cadoc

Tone 5

Having been raised to piety, O Hierarch Cadoc,

thou didst dedicate thy life to God,

serving Him in the monastic state.

As with joyful heart thou didst fulfil thy daily obedience,

caring for the earthly needs of countless paupers,

look now upon our spiritual poverty

and beseech Christ our God,

that He will grant us great mercy.

Kontakion of St Cadoc

Tone 5

We honour thee with hymns, O righteous Hierarch Cadoc,

for the pilgrimage of thy life was found pleasing to God,

Who in His goodness adorned thee with authority,

and as thou didst receive the crown of martyrdom,

whilst serving the Holy Mysteries,

pray for us that we also may be blessed to die in Christ.

St. Manach of Lemonaghan

http://celticsaints.org/2020/0124b.html

St. Manchan is credited with writing a poem in Irish that describes the desire of the green martyrs:

Grant me sweet Christ the grace to find-

Son of the living God!-

A small hut in a lonesome spot

To make it my abode.

A little pool but very clear

To stand beside the place

Where all men's sins are washed away

By sanctifying grace.

A pleasant woodland all about

To shield it (the hut) from the wind,

And make a home for singing birds

Before it and behind.

A southern aspect for the heat

A stream along its foot,

A smooth green lawn with rich top soil

Propitious to all fruit.

My choice of men to live with me

And pray to God as well;

Quiet men of humble mind --

Their number I shall tell.

Four files of three or three of four

To give the Psalter forth;

Six to pray by the south church wall

And six along the north.

Two by two my dozen friends --

To tell the number right --

Praying with me to move the King

Who gives the sun its light.
